Good Birth by Patrick Earl - June 20-28, 2026

Don’t miss Endstation’s 2026 Playwright's Initiative World Premiere of Good Birth.  This new work explores The Virginia State Colony for Epileptics and Feebleminded. This facility, right across the James River, is now called The Central Virginia Training Center, and became the center of the 1927 Supreme Court decision Buck v. Bell that upheld a physician’s right to forcibly sterilize a patient. Good Birth is a fictional tale of a young girl asked too soon to fight for her right to bear a child, and suffer society’s misguided view of intelligence; all while facing down the brute force of the American Eugenics Movement in the early 1900s.
